Diego 433 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Well i guess i was wrong. Who the hell will he go to? I can't see A.Madrid affording him even more so after just buying a ST griezmann swap deal? ..... i can dream... blueblood22 and Sir Mikel OBE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chels 2,502 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Yeah that "back injury" is starting to sound like BS. Unfortunately it looks increasingly likely that we intend to replace Costa with Lukaku. Can Atleti actually afford Costa after signing Gameiro though?

If Lukaku is worth £60m then surely Costa is worth the same if not more...  Atleti haven't got that sort of money The Chels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldportblue 547 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 really hope its not a case of lukaku coming in and costa leaving... there aren't really any great strikers on the market apart from him though as far as I know..

His English isn't perfect after all even if it's good for a non-English speaker. I don't see what's changed in 1-2 days after he said Costa will stay, especially when the only interested buyer Atletico have bought Gameiro.

How many strikers do Atletico need? Gameiro, Griezmann, Torres, Correa not enough? Adding Costa into that mix would just be overkill.

Last time conte spoke about about the Costa situation he spoke with a lot more confidence. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando 6,585 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 It's just ridicules that we will accept a much lower offer from Atletico and over pay on Lukaku. But that is what we are going to do.  The Chels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 The commentators here were saying that Costa and Conte had some beef because Costa wanted to play vs Liverpool and Conte said no because he hadn't trained all week. Hopefully it's nothing serious, and Lord help us if we seriously think Lukaku should be Costa's replacement. Batsman would replace Lukaku by season's end, no doubt. Beigl and The Chels 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding Costa into that mix would just be overkill. They play with two and Correa is more useful as a winger. Atletico will make sure this rumbles on till something significant happens.

nofacej 132 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 If there's any substance to the exit talk, we should put our foot down. We can ill afford to lose a striker of Costa's calibre at the moment. Ensuring CL football next season has to be the top priority, and the Premier League is going to be extremely competitive this season. Let him go after that if he wants.

the wes 7,212 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'm not a fan of keeping an unhappy player at the club if Costa wants to go I would let him but there's not many quality strikers out there are available tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belgiannutt 3,201 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 If he doesn't want to be here sell him. No room for players that don't want to be here. Just play Batshuayi and Hazard as our front 2 and pray neither one of them gets injured. We'd have next to no depth but atleast it's better then splashing 60 million on Lukaku.

MCM4PR3Z 411 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Not a big miss if he leaves, Batshuayi is already the better striker at the age of 22 Artandur and blueblood22 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
